Creole Pickle Meat

Creole Pickle Meat by Amos Miller

Folks ask if they can use smoked sausage, andouille sausage, ham, smoked butt and all kinds of other meats. The answer is, sure - its a free country. This recipe will also work with venison. But you will not truly experience Creole cooking if you do not use 'Pickle Meat', especially pickled pork, when you make Red Beans to go…

Beef Fajita Best Marinade

Beef Fajita Best Marinade by Amos Miller

This is fast, simple and super delicious! You should have a very hot (very) cast iron griddle or pan to do this right. I preheat the griddle and simultaneously heat a cast iron serving dish so it goes to table with that distinctive 'sizzle'. Be sure to cut the meat, after it has rested, across the grain and as thin as you can. This…

Chicken, Andouille and Shrimp Gumbo

Chicken, Andouille and Shrimp Gumbo by Sofia Reino

So as I said in my last posting I am doing a Gumbo. I found out my dear friends from IA actually sort of follow Emeril's recipe, then I found through halfhourmeals.com a true Louisiana lady who also had an interesting recipe in her blog "First, Make a Roux". If you are new at making a Gumbo, I would seriously check her blog as she…

Herb and Spice Brine Leg of Lamb

Herb and Spice Brine Leg of Lamb by Smokinhotchef

This may be one of my best creations yet. There are an array of herbs and spices, most from my own garden, that help bring this leg of lamb up to that of a prized dish in any locale. The lamb is seasoned in a brine refrigerated for up to 36 hours, so it is essentially a make ahead dish. There is no need for further seasoning…

Savory beef 'oxtails' served in yet another way no less spectacular than the last. A full bodied Cabernet Sauvignon serves as both the marinade and sauce for this recipe. Earthy mushrooms and simmering staples help bring this recipe inspired by Julia Child to it's full capacity. Perfect for a evening of showcasing the diversity of…

Four Cheese & Sausage Stuffed Manicotti

Four Cheese & Sausage Stuffed Manicotti by Salad Foodie

Cheese-stuffed manicotti personifies comfort food anytime, but take it up a notch with a cheese four-some and Italian sausage and it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. This was inspired by a few pasta manufacturer web site recipes, but I added my own spin here and there and was pleasantly surprised how well they worked. Oh Mama-Mia, this…

Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & Herbs

Rich Sauce with White Eggplant & Herbs by Amos Miller

Eggplant has nothing to do with eggs - unless you dip and bread them. This sauce is a knockout! We grow 'Casper', an heirloom small, long white eggplant. It's mild in flavor and perfectly suited to thick, rich vegetable sauces. When cut into dime-to-quarter-sized disks, I have found Casper to be a perfect addition to other late…

South Indian Chicken Curry

South Indian Chicken Curry by Mihir Shah

This is one of my favorite Indian dishes - south indian food can be a little hotter, which I love. You can use pretty much any meat, including the chicken I recommend here. Also goes great with prawns and white fish. Serve with Rice and heated tortillas

Arroz con Pollo - Yellow Rice and Chicken

Arroz con Pollo - Yellow Rice and Chicken by Salad Foodie

Spanish, Cuban, South American - a traditional and popular ethnic dish, this ranks among my all time favorites and is comfort food at its best! Most often accompanied by black beans (see link) and green peas. Rice takes on a yellow cast from that most expensive of all herbs - saffron. My mom-in-law used a flavoring packet called Vigo…

Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Burger Dogs

Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Burger Dogs by Patti Fisher

Sometimes we do a recipe just because it looks like fun, and this one was perfect for our 500th recipe on our new “Date Night Doins BBQ for Two” web site. (Almost 2 years old) This had everything we liked in a bacon cheeseburger, but with a fun twist. Ken put the cheese inside the burger, shaped it like a hot dog and wrapped it in…

Pan Seared Sirloin Steaks with Sauteed Onions

Pan Seared Sirloin Steaks with Sauteed Onions by John Spottiswood

We don't eat a lot of steak, and when we do I normally grill it. My mom used to frequently serve pan seared steaks, generally cheaper cuts like sirloin or london broil. So I thought I'd give it a try and see if I could come up with something competitive with my grill. I started with a base recipe from Cook's Illustrated, and…
